Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-139)

As the San Antonio Spurs prepare to take on the Portland Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama and his three-point shooting. While he's shown flashes of brilliance, let's consider that he's currently averaging just 2 threes per game over his last five outings. At home, that number dips slightly to 1.8, which already puts him precariously close to our target of under 2.5. Yes, he has had some success against the Blazers-averaging 2.6 against them-but at home, he's hit the mark just 3 times in recent matchups. With the Spurs looking to utilize him more inside and less on the perimeter, it's reasonable to expect a night where he stays under this threshold. The implied probability of 58.1% also suggests this is a solid bet, especially with his overall hit rate being a bit misleading. Sometimes, less can be more for a developing star like Wembanyama
